Public Accounts Committee
Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Discussion (Resumed)
12:30 pm
Mr. Paul Maloney:
I have written down two points. The first question was on whether we were risking taxpayers’ money by investing €52 million. No, we were not. We had just made €130 million on our developments to that date. We made €52 million in 2006. That is what our accounts showed. Subsequently, we still had enormous assets which we continued to sell off. To this very day, all of that has been paid back without any recourse to the taxpayer.
